"What has God given you? Moses had a stick, David had a slingshot, and Paul had a pen. Mother Teresa possessed a love for the poor; Billy Graham, a gift for preaching; and Joni Eareckson Tada, a disability. What did they have in common? A willingness to let God use whatever they had, even when it didn't seem very useful. If you will assess what you have to offer in terms of your time, your treasure, and your talents, you will have a better understanding of how you might uniquely serve."

But thereâ€™s a long tradition of artists using themselves. Look, I know Iâ€™m not perfect. And, who knows, maybe a part of it has to do with self-obsession. But itâ€™s also about using this weird thing that is a public persona as raw material for creative projects.”
“Fear overrides all rational thinking”
“For granting we have sinned, and that the offence Of man is made against Omnipotence, Some price that bears proportion must be paid, And infinite with infinite be weighed.”
